I think the hard part for me is then waiting for the Holy Spirit to resolve the issues. I hate conflict, especially with other believers and I'm not patient on waiting for the Holy Spirit to work to bring about reconciliation I'm afraid.Halfmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335655101343184062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-62232705040812713932009-06-14T09:09:00.573-05:002009-06-14T09:09:00.573-05:00Ted - thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, I think closing ourselves to others even when we don't express it in words, is evident in our attitude toward themEvery Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-22534014670975703632009-06-13T22:55:00.781-05:002009-06-13T22:55:00.781-05:00Yes.

It's amazing how sensitive and perceptive what I'm calling here the human spirit is. <br /><br />When I'm struggling with my attitude with someone for maybe what I think are good reasons (or a good reason), I can close my spirit toward them, and they pick that up. But that's not the way of Christ.<br /><br />So I must work at loving them as myself, and doing to them as I would want them to do to me. <br /><br />Good questions and thoughts here, ESI. Good to think through this in the way you set forth here.Ted M.

On matters ...David - thanks for the encouragement. On matters of our heart, scripture is not ambiguous, is it?<br /><br />Sam - slowing down and listening is definitely a challenge for me as well. If something scripture teaches us, it's that janitors and executives are equally prone to sins of the heart - pride, selfish desires.<br /><br /><br />Craver - in the situation I'm dealing with, it's less about my own personal conflicts but just seeing conflict break out all around me and not knowing what to do about it. I have realized though, my own heart of anxiety and impatience has set a poor example for others - I have not sown hope and encouragement...so much more growth needed in my own life.Every Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-85275670379591815402009-06-12T12:43:16.016-05:002009-06-12T12:43:16.016-05:00It has been surprisingly painful to see where some...It has been surprisingly painful to see where some conflict has come from, but I am grateful for lessons I have learned, plus sweet reconciliation.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-80864640678145479502009-06-12T07:13:53.900-05:002009-06-12T07:13:53.900-05:00I hope things ease up for you, ESI.

Listening to the other party, to ourselves, to God in the midst, and then to what the quarrel might disclose about the company or organization in a constantly changing culture.<br /><br />I took a course on organizational behavior a fears ago and remember being surprised by how a quarrel among janitors, for example, might actually be symptomatic of a problem among the executives in the same company. Good listening uncovers this and helps the company deal with root problems. <br /><br />Fascinating stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-62688938414246144422009-06-11T22:06:05.374-05:002009-06-11T22:06:05.374-05:00i love your use of scripture
